THE FIRST BATTLE SONG STEPHEN TAYLOR DEKINS. COPYRIGHT 1897 PUBLISHED BY STEPHEN TAYLOR DEKINS. VIRGINIA, ILLS
1. The bright star of the west, Still shines a mid the gloom; Cheer up, ye honest working men, In nineteen hundred firmly stand A-gainst the gold-bugs of our land...... 2. Mark Hanna and his little game, caused defeat in the last campaign, Intimidation was the plan--Plenty of money in his hand To overthrow the working man.......... 3. Prosperity will never come, Unless we have sixteen to one; The battle cry has just begun, Nebraska's son is not outdone; In nineteen hundred he will run...... 4. The second battle must be fought. And Bryan's book will be bought In nineteen hundred we will see, The gold and silver jubilee, And then we'll have prosperity........
REFRAIN In the year of nineteen hundred, We intend to take a stand, And buckle on the armor, for the double standard man...... SOPRANO In the year of nineteen hundred, We intend to take a stand, And buckle on the armor, for the double standard man...... ALTO In the year of nineteen hundred, We intend to take a stand, And buckle on the armor, for the double standard man...... TENOR In the year of nineteen hundred, We intend to take a stand, And buckle on the armor, for the double standard man......
